Your so blessed to have such an amazing Wife. Mine left me with two young kids because she couldn't deal with my very aggressive Crohn's Disease. I'm blessed to have two amazing children that I've raised myself while dealing with Aggressive Crohn's disease.. they keep me fighting every day
Crohns is a terrible disease that alot of people don't even know about I have 2 friends with it. They can hardly eat anything despite numerous surgeries. Hang in there. I hope you find a good woman to help you along. God bless.
This is why I watch lfg and blacktiph, they are some real people with real problems and they have trust in the man up stairs. Very nice seeing how faithful they are and it's good motivation to make myself a better Christian.
God Bless you in your trying time. Like many of your other viewers, I had stage 4 cancer in my spine. That was 1998 and now I am 77 years old and enjoying your fishing program.
Justin as February 9th I am a 5 year cancer survivor of a brain tumor. I like you I cannot have mine completely removed in fact, they were not able to operate on mine at all because it was so large. Hang in there Brother! The radiation shrank mine so that I can somewhat of a normal life. I'm 48 and have 3 beautiful children and wonderful wife to live for!!! Have faith in God because he see you through this! I live my life to fullest each and everyday and love my family with all my heart! My prayers go out to you and Stephanie and little Emmy!
My best friend beat stage 4 brain cancer. You are heroes and your stories are miraculous. Prayers to you also Shawn in Jesus name for you and your family. Continued healing, blessings, restoration, and peace, amen.
Dear Lord, we come together and pray that your Devine healing, the one that created Justin and You have all authority on Earth and everything will submit to you, Lord! We come boldly, to you and ask that you remove Willis from Justin’s brain! Where 2 or 3 gathered, your Word tells us You are there, so we come together and give thanks for meeting the need and answering this prayer. And, all His people said, amen!
Calling all Prayer Warriors! Don’t just say prayers or whatever. Do it! Lift this family up to the Lord our God now! Also, pray for Stephanie. She will need to be so strong here. In the name of Jesus let it be so!
I have a 7cm pituitary tumor, i had a surgery to remove some mass off the optic nerves, then did 8 weeks of radiation treatment. I know your pain man. Life goes on just gotta push through keep on truckin. Hope your situation is taken care of soon!
Before I got a double lung transplant I bought a old truck to fiddle with. It gave me something to think about. That was five years ago . Just had another TIA stroke . Life is funny that way. You’re a strong person and will overcome this. You’re inGods Hands. Never forget that . I call my strokes brain farts .Take care. PS. I used to pat and talk to my sick lungs and thank and encourage them . Sounds crazy ,but it worked. Our body’s have self healing abilities we know little about.
My mother just had gamma knife radiation treatment on a tumor in her brain about nine months ago. Hers is around the same size but a bit bigger and it is closer to her brain stem and was growing steadily and because of the location surgery was off the table. But after her treatment, it’s stopped growing completely. We are now hoping that we start seeing some shrinkage within the next year. But I hope everything goes well for you brother! Family and love is the best medicine, so soak it up.
I have a friend who had Gamma knife surgery done. It works extremely well with no side effects and he had no side effects. So don't worry you won't hulk out LOL! I wish you the best.
Sometimes it happens because a darn doctor is envious to someone, and wants them dead. Sometimes also doctors look to steal, a wife. Killing makes it an easy go afterwards. Truth.
With God all things are possible.( Matthew19:26) Love your Channel, God has a plan for you and wants you to lean in him first. You are in my families morning prayers. Stay strong brother!
I deeply respect you for accepting this hardship and the tumor you have. You know God has a plan. Just know you are in God’s hands brother, and you have all our prayers, you are NOT going to battle alone!
LFG, I work in Nursing in a telemetry/Stoke unit. Gamma-Knife Radiation is an amazing invention. How it works in actuality is small gamma ray “laser” beams will be directed towards the tumor. It will shrink it and could possibly eliminate it completely. It is a safe alternative to what the treatments used to be. I have met several people who have had strokes because of tumors in the circle of Willis. Every young person recovered completely from the GKR. Most elders survive, but have the effects from the stroke. Luckily you are young and healthy. Best of luck, you and your family will stay in my prayers!
UPDATE: I have watched LakeForkGuy grow from before and as a retired teacher/administrator - you are a GREAT TEACHER of science etc. Love to watch and listen to your explanations about brain tumors - have a GREAT NEW YEAR 2024!
My mother recently passed away from lung cancer & brain cancer. This is a very sensitive topic for me right now, and I give you full support throughout your battle my dude. One day we will figure out a way to permanently defeat these diseases. Stay strong.
Daaaaaaiiiiiiiimn 😭😭😭😭 I'm so so so sorry bud, my condolences. Just reading that made me involuntarily cringe in sorrow and pain. I can't imagine how I'd feel or deal if I had to watch my mom go through that. Please be a good friend to yourself and treat yourself the way you deserve to be treated, with kindness, empathy, compassion and patience. I'm wishing you wellness (I'm not munchy crunchy and don't believe in weird chi power shit but if there's something to it I want you to recieive it lol).
I went through some health issues 2 years ago. Had 4 surgeries within 6 months. It was hell. Got a little depressed but my wife of almost 30 years snapped me out of it. Don’t know how I would of made it without her and my faith. A good woman is a gift from above and a blessing. We’re all pulling for you. God bless you and your beautiful family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Justin. 🙏 There is NO DOUBT in anyone’s mind that with your support system and YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE that you WILL DEFEAT WILLIS! 🙏 My wife and I have both recently lost our fathers to cancer so this hits us particularly hard. Love always Scott & Erica ❤️
Circle of Willis, very important structures of the brain, Jesus protect you, your health, your family and their health! Prayers brother, my prayers for you!
My mom just went through brain surgery and just waiting for the pathology report. It’s nerve wreaking to wait! Thank you for making these videos, it’s been helpful in these uncertain times.
My girlfriends dad had a brain tumor two years back. Our whole town huddled around them and supported them and prayed for them and it was gone in two months. No explanation for it, just prayer. Just pray and trust God has a plan. That’s all you can do. I’ll be praying for y’all man
Hope you are doing well now. My father (53 years old) is currently dealing with Glioblastoma Multiforme. He had a mass, pretty much the same size of yours in a similar area. His tumor messed up his speech and memory quite a bit. He got it removed And is doing alright for now, But unfortunately his diagnosis is terminal. Always live every day like your last. Love those close to you deeply. Leave those you love with wonderful memories. Never know when it will be your last.
Hey! Wish you and your family the best in this fight against Willis. You beat him once and you can do it again! Be strong! Stay positive! Take all the time you need to get this settled. We love ya man!
So sorry for this news Justin! I know it’s not what you guys wanted to hear. Stay strong lean on your strong family and your faith. They will see you through this! Proverbs 3:5-6!!!!
Sorry to hear it’s back. We are probably close in age. In July, a week before my daughters first birthday I was diagnosed with T4B melanoma on my head. It flipped my world upside down. Had 7 lymph nodes removed on my right side of my neck and 1 on the left. I dodged a huge bullet and everything came back clean, but I am in a clinical trial receiving treatment every three weeks for the next year. I have gnarly scars on my head and neck. It messes with your head for sure. I commend you for how positive you are. I respect that you preach family first. Make sure you keep time for yourself. Good luck with everything!
Justin, I can kinda relate to what you are going through/what you have been though. I am 16 years old, and my little brother Jacob is 15 years old. On January 15th of this year, Jacob was diagnosed with t-cell lymphoma. The ex-rays revealed "a large mass 13cm x 14cm" residing in his chest cavity. The cancer had collapsed a lung and was pushing against his heart. It was a long night consisting of doctors draining a liter of fluid from his lung, putting him on iv's and breathing machines, and transferring him to another hospital via ambulance. He stayed in the ICU at Children's Medical Center of Dallas for 7 days. The doctors said that he is lucky to be alive, and that if he hadn't have had mono, he wouldn't be here. All that to say, I am praying for you and Stephany as you continue to battle Willis!! Side note: Justin, please reach out to me. Jacob is a fishing freak, and it would really lift his spirits to hear from you or the Googan Squad!!
I've been praying for your brother! Ik this seems really wierd but I know about his situation because my sister goes to Hillsdale college with your older sister. Such a strange small world. God bless you and your family!
My own tumor just came back. Hopefully by now you've taken care of this issue and came out of it OK. I'm waiting to hear from my doc to set up timing, etc. Am posting almost daily about the actual surgery which was supposed to take care of this, but now, only 6 months later, here I am again. It's a rotten break, but it is what it is. Love your attitude and hope you are doing well. Subscribing right now. Keep the faith.
Hey buddy, I'll be praying for you and your wife for peace and strength. Love your attitude going back into this battle with Wilson. I had a stroke in my brain stem that has left me weak and uncoordinated on my left side. But through God's grace, I can walk and use my arm and hand. I am so proud of you and your family's Faith that He has a plan for you. Stay strong. Love you brother.
Oh no, I am sooo sorry to hear this. Prays for you and your family. You’re the best, I watch your videos all the time. I love the ones with your dad. Be with the family. Wrap yourself in their love. Hold your wife close. Willis is going down, this time for good.
Damn bro so sorry to hear this. My dad was 69 and diagnosed with glioblastoma. It’s a horrible cancer. 11 months and I lost him. But live everyday like it’s your last as you know. Keep making videos because you may not realize how many people your touching with your story. Praying for you friend.🙏
I'm really sorry to hear this man, I really am. I have done the same thing in far less concerning matters. Go out to the bush to reflect, look back in on your life and re-focus on what matters, like family. You look like you are dealing very well, and you have some great people at your side. I wish you all the best and hope you can fight it and win! We aren't done with ya yet! Take it easy and do what you need to do for you and your fam!
Thank you for sharing your journey my husband has a pituitary tumor and it is growing. He has a huge passion for being in the outdoors hunting and fishing. We just love watching your channel. Thanks again.

My sincere prayers dear hv watched ua videos from the day u were in an hotel on ua way to the hospital for brain surgery n the day the bandage was removed .May God intervene and b strong it's shall b well.From Kenya
I actually found your site just as willis came to light, I seen you day in day out so positive and not letting anything get in your stride. I am diagnosed with a Genetic blood disorder which turns out to be fatal, no cure for, no medicine no nothing, my life was in the pits until i found people like you Sir - honest - decent - positive - peaceful by which i mean, ie:- when your all together ( say googans ) your always the laid back the chilled wise one. I have shut myself away from everybody for the past 7 years. I bought my first rod and kit because of you, i love watching you all - lunkers - googan squad - demolitia ... Today my friend is the first time i have seen you look like the wind has been taken out of ya. YOU must keep positive - i fully agree stay home more, them two girls need you, hell we all need you justin - I lves in the UK so sod all i can do about anything apart from say one to the bigman for you and the family . Peace be withyou my friend. :) Mark.
My niece had a similar tumor and the drs did the same procedure you are having now and it worked. The tumor is completely gone. You are a very positive person. I now is going to work for you too. I keep you in my prayers.
Young man,you have lots more fish of catch...stay positive u will beat this. I've been fighting leukemia for 2yrs thought I was done but here I am.Stay aggie strong God bless.
Hey bud. Chin up. You have a great attitude about your situation, and it seems like you have a wonderful support system. Your living well. Keep it up. God bless
Thank you for sharing, I saw your first brain surgery blog as I was researching... (my daughter has had 4 aneurysms removed from the circle of Willis) and seeing your blog helped us through her second surgery good luck in your recovery 🙂
My heart goes out to you! I have heard of this treatment and has actually saved people with worse off people then you. Matter of fact, didnt have names for some of the ailments they were dealing with. It has been some time that i have heard about this person but the last I had heard had a clean bill of health and that was when it was still experiemental. Prayers go out to you from myself and Im sure many other folks! And that is a invitation to all of you that would give this man a prayer! Thank you!
I have had surgery behind left eye. I did not have good experience but I am a outdoors person myself and find peace there. I was opened ear to ear and had staples from ear to ear. Your not feeling yourself for a reason. Its a hard thing but be brave. Your a strong soul. I'd hate to recommend it but monitoring everything necessary. The universe wants you in it. Your a beautiful spirit and Stephanie is needing you along with your family. Bless you.
I agree with you Real Life! I have watched people call upon God and healing has taken place! For those that have never experience such a movement by God, you shouldn't laugh (balalclava)! Just because you may not believe, does not mean it doesn't happen!
Praise be to Jesus! Every time I face a crisis like running out of pickles I hold a cucumber in my right hand and pray to the Good Lord for pickles! Oh sweet Lord, blessed are the holy pickles!
Listened, why do folks have to say negative things to one another. (I am guilty of this too) But I am also growing in life everyday. Even as an middle aged man. If we treat one another with compassion and most of all w/ respect we will all be better for it. If you don’t believe in Our Lord and savior I hope that changes for u one day. But those who want to lift this young mans spirits and pray for him please don’t say negative things. This man has enough issues and shouldn’t be subject to reading on his page folks speaking bad to one another. I will be praying or you bud. I wish u all the best! You have a heart of Gold and it showed with what you are saying. You trying to help others in your time of hardship. That’s what we are here for! Lean on the Lord! God Bless Brother
I have watched your videos chronicling your tumor journey and I am so glad I found them, I was diagnosed with my Meningioma 3 years ago and even though it is slow growing it has always affected me with annoying side effects like vertigo, dizziness, headaches, etc and occasionally nerve pain...mine is also near the main arteries and close to the optic nerve on the right, it is only a little over 2cm but it is pressing on major arteries and nerves so I am having the surgery on Mar 7 to resection as well. It has really helped to watch your videos and ease my fears about surgery because I could see the effects and recovery in real life and I am also going to Dr Kim so I know I am getting the best neurosurgeon I can. Once again thanks for making the videos, they do help and I will continue to look for future updates. (I'm sorry to say I am not watching for the fishing angle but I found your videos when researching brain surgery) Keep fighting, best wishes to you and your family! I have also researched Gamma Knife when it was a possibility in my initial treatment and they have been doing it at Memorial Hermann since 1993 (they were the first in Houston to have it) so you will continue to be in good hands!
When I started watching this video, I felt not alone, 5yrs ago, I went through surgery brain tumor but worst news one month ago I was diagnosed with progressive brain tumor again it was hell for me n my family cZ to us, the first Surgery was done with us . Now 2weeeks ago was removed tumor again which was back again,.was very scared fr the second surgery at the very same part but He who made it fr me first surgery, He was also came n helped me to get out of it, God too faithful to fail us. Now in the house on a healing process so yu will overcome big brother.
I remember you going through this for the first time. I just got diagnosed with two of them, from seeing you go through it I’m confident I’ll be okay. We’ll get through this
7:10 circle of Willis is what you are referring to. It is actually super cool how it routes blood around the brain and can possibly save someone from dying of a ischemic stroke.
TY, for being so open regarding this. You’re helping most def. I don’t have a tumor but am slowly recovering from a head injury per surfing. Outdoors, we’re always my element, as well. Literally, been on bed rest for some time but yes, faith is paramount. Your attitude last year, was great considering. Continued prayers & never lose heart, brother, he knows our suffering. Much mahalo!
Sorry to hear this Man. Our family has been going through the same thing. Have you tried the Ketogenic Diet? My wife has had her 3rd resection 4 days ago. The keto diet has been an amazing way to starve the Cancer cells along with radiation and chemo. Starve Willis! I hope all the best. You got this man!
I know this is a old vid but it hits very close to home. Your attitude and positive outlook is a tremendous inspiration to me. Thank you and God bless you and your family. "Family first" we all need tha reminder.
Stay strong and keep on fighting. I'm 23 and just got diagnosed with a brain tumor doctor is sure its benign due to its size, but caught it from sudden onset double vision. Staying positive through the whole thing. Ready to be done with it. I'll name mine too! But awesome that your staying positive we gotta be strong for our family and friends. Hardest thing about all this is staying still in the damn MRI!! God bless you and I'll pray for your recovery!
Hi there from Pakistan. My father aged 54 got a brain tumour back in 2007. But it was very minor. Doctor told us to wait for bit. As my Father worked in Qatar Border army as Radar tech. Later in 2010 while driving car, he got a fit and met an accident. initially doctor thought it was a heart attack. but cutting long story short, he got operated and immediately got GAMMA KNIFE RADIATION. His tumour size was 18cm. HE HAD 3RD STAGE cancerous BRAIN TUMOUR. Later in 2016, he start to get unbalanace, which caused his body to shutdown starting from right leg, right arm, eyes, vocabulary, senses. After an MRI scan, there was a brain tumour again. but he could. not survived this time...
I recently subscribed after watching a couple of your videos. Then suddenly out of nowhere I get to the videos of you talking about your tumor. My initial thought was heartbreak! That lasted about 15 seconds until I saw your positive attitude and your wife’s. I turn 51 tomorrow and I realized from your attitude that I still have much to learn. You are inspiring. God bless you and your family and I will pray for a fantastic outcome.
Willis is going down! Thanks everybody for all the support through everything. Love ya'll!
We are here for you brother. God is good he will heal you.
You got this!
Keep it danglin' Justin!

Man, 77, you are a trooper!
Glad your still here with us! Defeating the odds 💪🏽
Was it terminal?
Justin as February 9th I am a 5 year cancer survivor of a brain tumor. I like you I cannot have mine completely removed in fact, they were not able to operate on mine at all because it was so large. Hang in there Brother! The radiation shrank mine so that I can somewhat of a normal life. I'm 48 and have 3 beautiful children and wonderful wife to live for!!! Have faith in God because he see you through this! I live my life to fullest each and everyday and love my family with all my heart! My prayers go out to you and Stephanie and little Emmy!

Praying for you as I type
Dear Lord, we come together and pray that your Devine healing, the one that created Justin and You have all authority on Earth and everything will submit to you, Lord!

Prayers for you and your family 😎😎😎
Once and for all

MakeItHappen same here! Three surgeries lots of medication! Sucks but I’m alive and feel good!
How are you now?
So sorry brother...We all love you.
I hope the best for you
You will be in my prayers
Before I got a double lung transplant I bought a old truck to fiddle with. It gave me something to think about. That was five years ago . Just had another TIA stroke . Life is funny that way. You’re a strong person and will overcome this. You’re inGods Hands. Never forget that . I call my strokes brain farts .Take care. PS. I used to pat and talk to my sick lungs and thank and encourage them . Sounds crazy ,but it worked. Our body’s have self healing abilities we know little about.
My mother just had gamma knife radiation treatment on a tumor in her brain about nine months ago. Hers is around the same size but a bit bigger and it is closer to her brain stem and was growing steadily and because of the location surgery was off the table.

I can’t believe it... stay strong man
I have a friend who had Gamma knife surgery done. It works extremely well with no side effects and he had no side effects. So don't worry you won't hulk out LOL! I wish you the best.
Why does bad stuff always happen to good people it blows my mind I don't get it it makes me mad 😠 stay strong my friend and God bless you🙏
Dean Fulford bad stuff happens to everyone.
Sometimes it happens because a darn doctor is envious to someone, and wants them dead. Sometimes also doctors look to steal, a wife. Killing makes it an easy go afterwards. Truth.
@@ikstrucking3289 wtf?
Billy Joel said it best, only the good die young. Nice guys finish last my friend
Ivan Konstantinov I don’t know about all that
Justin just keep thinking of what the lord says in Jeremiah 29:11. All of us fishing freaks are praying you on.
With God all things are possible.( Matthew19:26)
Love your Channel, God has a plan for you and wants you to lean in him first. You are in my families morning prayers. Stay strong brother!
*on him not in him
Oohh bible off
So why would you interfere with god's plan?
I deeply respect you for accepting this hardship and the tumor you have. You know God has a plan. Just know you are in God’s hands brother, and you have all our prayers, you are NOT going to battle alone!
LFG, I work in Nursing in a telemetry/Stoke unit. Gamma-Knife Radiation is an amazing invention. How it works in actuality is small gamma ray “laser” beams will be directed towards the tumor. It will shrink it and could possibly eliminate it completely. It is a safe alternative to what the treatments used to be. I have met several people who have had strokes because of tumors in the circle of Willis. Every young person recovered completely from the GKR. Most elders survive, but have the effects from the stroke. Luckily you are young and healthy. Best of luck, you and your family will stay in my prayers!

Daaaaaaiiiiiiiimn 😭😭😭😭 I'm so so so sorry bud, my condolences. Just reading that made me involuntarily cringe in sorrow and pain. I can't imagine how I'd feel or deal if I had to watch my mom go through that. Please be a good friend to yourself and treat yourself the way you deserve to be treated, with kindness, empathy, compassion and patience. I'm wishing you wellness (I'm not munchy crunchy and don't believe in weird chi power shit but if there's something to it I want you to recieive it lol).
@Miki what is your definition of "Chi Power"?
I am sorry for your loss. I like to think a cure is in the near future!
Tough to watch, but the ending is the best, "I love you guys". 1 Corinthians 13:2
I went through some health issues 2 years ago. Had 4 surgeries within 6 months. It was hell. Got a little depressed but my wife of almost 30 years snapped me out of it. Don’t know how I would of made it without her and my faith. A good woman is a gift from above and a blessing. We’re all pulling for you. God bless you and your beautiful family.
You did it once you can do it again. Stay strong bud.
Take care Justin!!! Thoughts and prayers with you and your family🙌🏼
My thoughts and prayers are with you Justin. 🙏 There is NO DOUBT in anyone’s mind that with your support system and YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE that you WILL DEFEAT WILLIS! 🙏 My wife and I have both recently lost our fathers to cancer so this hits us particularly hard. Love always Scott & Erica ❤️
Circle of Willis, very important structures of the brain, Jesus protect you, your health, your family and their health! Prayers brother, my prayers for you!
i said it on the family channel video...you should make a "whatchu talkin bout willis" shirt. someone out there can make it funny and fishing related,
My mom just went through brain surgery and just waiting for the pathology report. It’s nerve wreaking to wait! Thank you for making these videos, it’s been helpful in these uncertain times.
Take it one step at a time. One cast at a time. Listen to the advice to doctors give you. Take the treatment and hang on to your faith.
My girlfriends dad had a brain tumor two years back. Our whole town huddled around them and supported them and prayed for them and it was gone in two months. No explanation for it, just prayer. Just pray and trust God has a plan. That’s all you can do. I’ll be praying for y’all man
Hope you are doing well now.
My father (53 years old) is currently dealing with Glioblastoma Multiforme. He had a mass, pretty much the same size of yours in a similar area. His tumor messed up his speech and memory quite a bit. He got it removed And is doing alright for now, But unfortunately his diagnosis is terminal.
Always live every day like your last. Love those close to you deeply. Leave those you love with wonderful memories. Never know when it will be your last.
Hey! Wish you and your family the best in this fight against Willis. You beat him once and you can do it again! Be strong! Stay positive! Take all the time you need to get this settled. We love ya man!
So sorry for this news Justin! I know it’s not what you guys wanted to hear. Stay strong lean on your strong family and your faith. They will see you through this! Proverbs 3:5-6!!!!
I'll be praying for the LORD Jesus to put his hand on you and heal you! God bless
why do a lot of people capitalize LORD?
@@hankhilll4651 could you explain why we wouldn’t? I’m not trying to sound sarcastic 😂
@@noellealdi881 There's no reason not to, I was also just curious. I've notice it's somewhat common
Sorry to hear it’s back. We are probably close in age. In July, a week before my daughters first birthday I was diagnosed with T4B melanoma on my head. It flipped my world upside down. Had 7 lymph nodes removed on my right side of my neck and 1 on the left. I dodged a huge bullet and everything came back clean, but I am in a clinical trial receiving treatment every three weeks for the next year. I have gnarly scars on my head and neck. It messes with your head for sure. I commend you for how positive you are. I respect that you preach family first. Make sure you keep time for yourself. Good luck with everything!
Justin,
I can kinda relate to what you are going through/what you have been though. I am 16 years old, and my little brother Jacob is 15 years old. On January 15th of this year, Jacob was diagnosed with t-cell lymphoma. The ex-rays revealed "a large mass 13cm x 14cm" residing in his chest cavity. The cancer had collapsed a lung and was pushing against his heart. It was a long night consisting of doctors draining a liter of fluid from his lung, putting him on iv's and breathing machines, and transferring him to another hospital via ambulance. He stayed in the ICU at Children's Medical Center of Dallas for 7 days. The doctors said that he is lucky to be alive, and that if he hadn't have had mono, he wouldn't be here. All that to say, I am praying for you and Stephany as you continue to battle Willis!!
Side note: Justin, please reach out to me. Jacob is a fishing freak, and it would really lift his spirits to hear from you or the Googan Squad!!
I've been praying for your brother! Ik this seems really wierd but I know about his situation because my sister goes to Hillsdale college with your older sister. Such a strange small world. God bless you and your family!
@@kopbod8285 that's so cool. It really is a small world! Thanks for the prayers!
My own tumor just came back. Hopefully by now you've taken care of this issue and came out of it OK. I'm waiting to hear from my doc to set up timing, etc. Am posting almost daily about the actual surgery which was supposed to take care of this, but now, only 6 months later, here I am again. It's a rotten break, but it is what it is. Love your attitude and hope you are doing well. Subscribing right now. Keep the faith.
Hey buddy, I'll be praying for you and your wife for peace and strength. Love your attitude going back into this battle with Wilson. I had a stroke in my brain stem that has left me weak and uncoordinated on my left side. But through God's grace, I can walk and use my arm and hand. I am so proud of you and your family's Faith that He has a plan for you. Stay strong. Love you brother.
What a GREAT attitude YOU have, Terry Usher, Bless you!!!
Keep looking UP!!!!
Prayers for complete healing and strength for you and your blessed family.
Oh no, I am sooo sorry to hear this. Prays for you and your family. You’re the best, I watch your videos all the time. I love the ones with your dad. Be with the family. Wrap yourself in their love. Hold your wife close. Willis is going down, this time for good.
Damn bro so sorry to hear this. My dad was 69 and diagnosed with glioblastoma. It’s a horrible cancer. 11 months and I lost him. But live everyday like it’s your last as you know. Keep making videos because you may not realize how many people your touching with your story. Praying for you friend.🙏
I'm really sorry to hear this man, I really am. I have done the same thing in far less concerning matters. Go out to the bush to reflect, look back in on your life and re-focus on what matters, like family. You look like you are dealing very well, and you have some great people at your side. I wish you all the best and hope you can fight it and win! We aren't done with ya yet! Take it easy and do what you need to do for you and your fam!
Good luck LFG your in my prayers

I actually found your site just as willis came to light, I seen you day in day out so positive and not letting anything get in your stride. I am diagnosed with a Genetic blood disorder which turns out to be fatal, no cure for, no medicine no nothing, my life was in the pits until i found people like you Sir - honest - decent - positive - peaceful by which i mean, ie:- when your all together ( say googans ) your always the laid back the chilled wise one. I have shut myself away from everybody for the past 7 years. I bought my first rod and kit because of you, i love watching you all - lunkers - googan squad - demolitia ... Today my friend is the first time i have seen you look like the wind has been taken out of ya. YOU must keep positive - i fully agree stay home more, them two girls need you, hell we all need you justin - I lves in the UK so sod all i can do about anything apart from say one to the bigman for you and the family .
Peace be withyou my friend. :)
Mark.
Good luck my friend, praying hard for you and your family....
My niece had a similar tumor and the drs did the same procedure you are having now and it worked. The tumor is completely gone. You are a very positive person. I now is going to work for you too. I keep you in my prayers.
Young man,you have lots more fish of catch...stay positive u will beat this. I've been fighting leukemia for 2yrs thought I was done but here I am.Stay aggie strong God bless.
I hope you're still fighting strong!
Hey bud. Chin up. You have a great attitude about your situation, and it seems like you have a wonderful support system. Your living well. Keep it up. God bless
Thank you for sharing, I saw your first brain surgery blog as I was researching... (my daughter has had 4 aneurysms removed from the circle of Willis) and seeing your blog helped us through her second surgery good luck in your recovery 🙂
My wife and I are on your side. We wish you a quick resolution to the Willis problem.
I'll be praying for you bro love the videos stay positive God is watching out for yours
My heart goes out to you! I have heard of this treatment and has actually saved people with worse off people then you. Matter of fact, didnt have names for some of the ailments they were dealing with. It has been some time that i have heard about this person but the last I had heard had a clean bill of health and that was when it was still experiemental. Prayers go out to you from myself and Im sure many other folks! And that is a invitation to all of you that would give this man a prayer! Thank you!
Hey man, I'll be praying for you!!! Stay strong and keep praying!!!
The Gamma knife has been used for years. It's awesome and has saved so many people. Get it done ASAP.
I have had surgery behind left eye. I did not have good experience but I am a outdoors person myself and find peace there. I was opened ear to ear and had staples from ear to ear. Your not feeling yourself for a reason. Its a hard thing but be brave. Your a strong soul. I'd hate to recommend it but monitoring everything necessary. The universe wants you in it. Your a beautiful spirit and Stephanie is needing you along with your family. Bless you.
I need to stop complaining about my own life whenever I see people going through stuff like this.
Well, Jesus is the Healer. And whatever happens he has a plan for your life man. Bless you and be healed in Jesus name!
We serve an All Mighty God, and through Christ Jesus all things are possible...
Lol idiot.
I agree with you Real Life! I have watched people call upon God and healing has taken place! For those that have never experience such a movement by God, you shouldn't laugh (balalclava)! Just because you may not believe, does not mean it doesn't happen!
Praise be to Jesus! Every time I face a crisis like running out of pickles I hold a cucumber in my right hand and pray to the Good Lord for pickles! Oh sweet Lord, blessed are the holy pickles!
Listened, why do folks have to say negative things to one another. (I am guilty of this too) But I am also growing in life everyday. Even as an middle aged man. If we treat one another with compassion and most of all w/ respect we will all be better for it. If you don’t believe in Our Lord and savior I hope that changes for u one day. But those who want to lift this young mans spirits and pray for him please don’t say negative things. This man has enough issues and shouldn’t be subject to reading on his page folks speaking bad to one another. I will be praying or you bud. I wish u all the best! You have a heart of Gold and it showed with what you are saying. You trying to help others in your time of hardship. That’s what we are here for! Lean on the Lord! God Bless Brother
I have watched your videos chronicling your tumor journey and I am so glad I found them, I was diagnosed with my Meningioma 3 years ago and even though it is slow growing it has always affected me with annoying side effects like vertigo, dizziness, headaches, etc and occasionally nerve pain...mine is also near the main arteries and close to the optic nerve on the right, it is only a little over 2cm but it is pressing on major arteries and nerves so I am having the surgery on Mar 7 to resection as well. It has really helped to watch your videos and ease my fears about surgery because I could see the effects and recovery in real life and I am also going to Dr Kim so I know I am getting the best neurosurgeon I can. Once again thanks for making the videos, they do help and I will continue to look for future updates. (I'm sorry to say I am not watching for the fishing angle but I found your videos when researching brain surgery) Keep fighting, best wishes to you and your family!
I have also researched Gamma Knife when it was a possibility in my initial treatment and they have been doing it at Memorial Hermann since 1993 (they were the first in Houston to have it) so you will continue to be in good hands!
Man this scares me. Stay strong, you’re in my prayers.
Praying for you brother. Philippians 4:13
When I started watching this video, I felt not alone, 5yrs ago, I went through surgery brain tumor but worst news one month ago I was diagnosed with progressive brain tumor again it was hell for me n my family cZ to us, the first Surgery was done with us . Now 2weeeks ago was removed tumor again which was back again,.was very scared fr the second surgery at the very same part but He who made it fr me first surgery, He was also came n helped me to get out of it, God too faithful to fail us. Now in the house on a healing process so yu will overcome big brother.
I remember you going through this for the first time. I just got diagnosed with two of them, from seeing you go through it I’m confident I’ll be okay. We’ll get through this
Hope you’re doing well man 🙏
Stay strong! Cancer is a hard thing to beat! I still have the shirt from last time!
7:10 circle of Willis is what you are referring to. It is actually super cool how it routes blood around the brain and can possibly save someone from dying of a ischemic stroke.
Willis can 1v1 me in rust and catch these hands!
I seriously hate to hear this... God bless you brother.
TY, for being so open regarding this. You’re helping most def. I don’t have a tumor but am slowly recovering from a head injury per surfing. Outdoors, we’re always my element, as well. Literally, been on bed rest for some time but yes, faith is paramount. Your attitude last year, was great considering. Continued prayers & never lose heart, brother, he knows our suffering. Much mahalo!
Sorry to hear this Man. Our family has been going through the same thing. Have you tried the Ketogenic Diet? My wife has had her 3rd resection 4 days ago. The keto diet has been an amazing way to starve the Cancer cells along with radiation and chemo. Starve Willis! I hope all the best. You got this man!
Praying for you! Willis is going DOWN! 🙏🏼💪🏼🙅🏻♂️
I know this is a old vid but it hits very close to home. Your attitude and positive outlook is a tremendous inspiration to me.
Thank you and God bless you and your family.
"Family first" we all need tha reminder.
God bless you brother! I'll be praying for you and your family! I know you can beat this!
Hope you get better soon much prayers
Stay strong and keep on fighting. I'm 23 and just got diagnosed with a brain tumor doctor is sure its benign due to its size, but caught it from sudden onset double vision. Staying positive through the whole thing. Ready to be done with it. I'll name mine too! But awesome that your staying positive we gotta be strong for our family and friends. Hardest thing about all this is staying still in the damn MRI!! God bless you and I'll pray for your recovery!
Praying for you man may God heal you , I lost both my grandmas to cancer so I pray for you may God heal you in Jesus name amen.
Praying for you! You've got this. Stay strong. Family is everything & they will get you through this. 🙏🇺🇸💜🙏🇺🇸💜
Blessed Be!
Hi there from Pakistan. My father aged 54 got a brain tumour back in 2007. But it was very minor. Doctor told us to wait for bit. As my Father worked in Qatar Border army as Radar tech.
Later in 2010 while driving car, he got a fit and met an accident. initially doctor thought it was a heart attack. but cutting long story short, he got operated and immediately got GAMMA KNIFE RADIATION. His tumour size was 18cm. HE HAD 3RD STAGE cancerous BRAIN TUMOUR.
Later in 2016, he start to get unbalanace, which caused his body to shutdown starting from right leg, right arm, eyes, vocabulary, senses. After an MRI scan, there was a brain tumour again. but he could. not survived this time...
So sorry to hear that
Prayers for you and the family. You can do this.
Prayers and God bless. Wishing you a successful recovery
I recently subscribed after watching a couple of your videos. Then suddenly out of nowhere I get to the videos of you talking about your tumor. My initial thought was heartbreak! That lasted about 15 seconds until I saw your positive attitude and your wife’s. I turn 51 tomorrow and I realized from your attitude that I still have much to learn. You are inspiring. God bless you and your family and I will pray for a fantastic outcome.
Were all with ya............
Prayers and much love brother 🤙🏻
Get in the Word Bro...Prayers for you and the Family.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have a benign brain tumor. My heart goes out to you, and I'm praying for you.
you have thousands of fishing freaks behind you for this battle🙏👊
